A U.S. citizen in her ninth month of pregnancy was hospitalized with sharp stomach pains after being arrested — and later released — by ICE agents who accused her of obstructing the arrest of her undocumented husband.

We feed you. They hunt us.

Marines are met with protesters at downtown Federal building in Los Angeles as Mayor Bass’s curfew approaches. ~ @shoton35mm.bsky.social

As faith leaders have a crowd take a knee and pray outside the federal building, DHS officers raise their weapons at priests and National Guard members lineup with riot shields against them tonight in downtown L.A.

We are aware of multiple federal operations impacting farm workers across California today. To all working people in California, remember: we are in this together. Our statement: ufw.org/ufw-statemen... #WeFeedYou

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Credit where credit is due: Newsom is meeting the moment

Greetings! I’m here on Alameda and Commercial in downtown Los Angeles, near Metro Detention Center. An area wide curfew begins in just over an hour that was just announced. Dozens of people are here. A line of LAPD up front. CHP officers stationed in many many other places nearby.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

If Trump actually had a mandate to do what he's doing we wouldn't have nationwide protests and he wouldn't need the military to silence those protesters

If you're not in the streets, it's YOU who should exert some self-discipline and stop posting bullshit.

Trump and Miller's fascist stunt is going to cost taxpayers *at least* $134 million dollars

LAPD officers bull rush protesters and press, hitting them along the way indiscriminately

ICE started raiding the hotel they were staying in - interrogating cleaning ladies Good luck housing ICE agents in Los Angeles now

Protesters sitting in front of police chanting peaceful protest

ICE appears to be staying at the Doubletree hotel in Carson. Multiple ICE vehicles parked.

There’s more chaos during your average championship-starved city’s sports championship celebration than there is in LA right now even with this utterly absurd militarized government presence. This administration is an absolute farce.

Meanwhile in Russia: decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov and his fellow propagandists rejoiced about events in California, hoping they mark the beginning of a civil war in the United States they've long been rooting for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HWo7...

“We are relieved that David is free and reunited with his family and we are deeply grateful to the hundreds of elected officials, civil rights leaders, labor partners and allies from across the nation who stood in solidarity...” @seiupres.bsky.social, April Verrett's full statement: seiu.co/3ZYw24f

"Were treated like dogs. Theyre making us lay on the floor. Were here to help Waymo" Its ok grandpa. The war ended 40 years ago. Go to sleep

A brief recent history of Apple user interface principles #WWDC25

I was a lifelong liberal Democrat. Then I learned that the menswear guy doesn't like violent protests.

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

Transformative work of the day:

Just to show how completely unhinged this has gotten, Trump is now saying if it weren't for him calling in the National Guard, that Los Angeles "would have been completely obliterated."

Fun facts: Donald Trump was found to have participated in an insurrection by Colorado courts. The14th amendment of the constitution explicitly forbids anyone who participated in an insurrection from holding federal office. Trump is holding office unconstitutionally and should be removed.

When you start critiquing the behavior of the oppressed in service of appeasing their oppressor, you have already surrendered power to the oppressor to set the boundaries of what behavior is acceptable

It's hurricane season. Now is the time to prepare.

Following my reporting that brought this issue to light, Glendale has cancelled their contract with DHS/ICE. Here’s the story that broke it: inadvertent.substack.com/p/glendale-p... Link to Glendale's post: x.com/MyGlendale/s...
